can you please make a special episodr of state of the Nation where you compare playing real Instruments to Guitar Hero and Rock Band???

Because I often find that the GH and RB playstyles are much, much easier than real instruments!

I mean, (im Bassist) that you actually have to play bout 10 different notes in a song, and in GH there are only 3 different colors to press -.- even on expert it doesnt match, please make an episode about that :D

@T7Champ I could make an episode like that, but it wouldn't be a good comparison for me to do since I don't play guitar/bass. However, I could definitely see a round-table discussion over skype or something similar about this and other topics. I've got a video that I recorded about a year ago that could show you guys what I was thinking when I first started to get the idea for State of the Nation/Hooked on Rhythm Gaming.

@T7Champ On that same note, I'd like to start doing player interviews and we do like a 10-15 minute interview over topics such as this. Would you be interested in something like that?

[T7Champ]

@jarrettcoggin woah, i dont know, first i would need to get skype and my headset is broken too :/ but actually it would be awesome to be inn one of your videos :)

I'll try to get that stuff fixed, maybe we could do that bro^^ keep it up

@ooJL87oo Glad you liked it!
